Since announcing she suffered from a rare neurological disease, Celine Dion has considerably reduced her public appearances. The star, escorted by her son René-Charles, presented the Album of the Year award to Taylor Swift.
«I’m always by your side. ’Cause I’m your lady…» It’s on the words of The Power of Love that Celine Dion made her entrance, on the arm of her son René-Charles, on the set of the Grammy Awards on February 4. The ceremony was held in Los Angeles and was marked by this unexpected appearance.
The Canadian star has suffered from stiff person syndrome for eight years, which forced her to cancel all her concerts until April 2024 and to interrupt her public appearances. Despite this illness, Céline Dion still went to the ceremony to present the album of the year award. Welcomed by a standing ovation, she encouraged the audience to “never take for granted the immense love and joy that music brings to [leur] lives and people around the world.”
The one who won the Grammy for album of the year in 1997 for Let’s Talk About Love then presented the Grammy for Album of the Year 2024 to singer Taylor Swift for her album Midnights. The interpreter of Lavender Haze won it for the fourth time in his career, a record.

If viewers may have been surprised by the lack of effusiveness between the two stars at the time of the award ceremony, photos taken behind the scenes reveal the complicity between Taylor Swift and Céline Dion. The latter announced on Instagram last week that a documentary about her, I am Céline Dion, was in preparation. It will soon be broadcast on Prime Video. “The last few years have been a great challenge for me, from discovering the illness to learning how to live with it and manage it, without letting it define me. As I get back into my career, I realize how much I missed being able to see my fans. During my absence, I wanted to document this part of my life to raise awareness about this little-known disease and help people who share this diagnosis.she writes under her publication.
